iFrame and Object tags content rendering lines through text in Mozilla

[R144N]

Hi Everyone,

I've searched variuos forums as much as I could for a similar problem within the time I could and found no helpful solution, I hope someone here can help me out:

I have an iFrame issue in all Mozilla browsers where the text appears to be like strikethrough text but it is definitely a rendering issue. I have tried iFrame and Object tags as advised on w3c.org but alas, the same problem.

Is this a bug in Mozilla? and if so, is there a workaround to it? You can view the issue at the following website using Firefox or Netscape's latest versions:

Works perfectly in IE as usual...but you get the pedantic users who shudder at the remote thought of something being "less secure"...

Hope there is a solution...

Cheers, Riaan

Something working in IE and not Firefox is not "the usual". IE6/7 are nine years behind web standards and riddled with inaccurate renderings. Your page has "stuff" in front of the doctype, the comments. This puts IE into quirks mode and it uses its broken "box model". Remove the comments to bring IE into closer to the 21st century.

The 'line-through' is coming through your CSS under .tableBG where you declare the property 'text-decoration: line-through' which modern browsers will properly do as Firefox has. Old, backwards, non-standard IE6/7, of course, fails to do so.

In addition, your frames add up to 75 html errors. I did not look at the css errors.

Thanks, I really don't know how that TableBG css thing got there - thats what you get for copying and pasting erroneous code thereby propagating the issue...I am in an advanced state of elation that it got fixed.

Thanks for your help. I feel like an idiot at this point but its always good to have a fresh pair of knowledgeable eyes...

P.S. Thanks for the doctype tip.

Had no idea IE did that with comments before the declaration...and I get paid for what I do...LOL

I'm a Desktop applications developer but websites seem to be the order of the day - need to brush up on my HTML...

Not just comments. Anything before the doctype will cause that. IE6/7 is the worst browser on the planet.
